Robert Pattinson Ranked in 'IndieWire's End Of Year Critics Poll' & More

Robert Pattinson Ranked in 'IndieWire's End Of Year Critics Poll' & More

UPDATE: More great praise from Indiewire for Rob below (Scroll down)

We posted a big batch of end of years lists featuring Rob and his movies the other day (if you missed the post, check it out HERE).
Here are a couple more that I'm sure you'll find interesting particularly the first one.

 Indiewire's End Of Year Critics poll has Rob is at No14 (out of 50) in their 'Best Male Supporting Performance' category for The Rover. What's really interesting is that you can see how the critics ranked him by clicking on the blue bar on beside his name on the right.

Guy Pearce also features on their poll in the Best Actor Category

And Maps To The Stars makes Clash Music's Top films of 2014 List.
Here's what they had to say about it:
'Hollywood: a land possessed by poisonous personalities; a place rammed wall-to-wall with bitterly over-indulged souls who have it all and still want more; a toxic environment in which glamour has been eroded by addiction and desperation. Or at least that’s how David Cronenberg’s caustic satire paints it.
The mass of personality defects on display throughout Maps To The Stars gives it the feel of slick soap opera amplified to sick extremities: its characters rejoice when the tragedy of others sparks a personal resurrection; pop pills like Polo mints; and treat their fans like parasitic carriers of disease. If this film so much as touches on reality, ol’ Dave has probably alienated the majority of his industry contacts.' Ben Hopkins

UPDATE:

Indiewire released their "21 Best Performances Of 2014" list and Guy Pearce's performance as Eric in The Rover has made it in at no 6 on their list. Rob doesn't make the list but he got an honourable mention ;)
"With apologies to Robert Pattinson (and his legion of fans) who is very, very good in this movie, and continues to prove and reinvent himself in each new role, Guy Pearce owns "The Rover."

I finally got to see Maps To The Stars last week during it's award qualifying run - which proved to be successful since Julianne Moore scored the Golden Globe nomination they were seeking.

I loved it. It was an enjoyable satire on the absurdities in Hollywood. Extra'd out in some cases...or maybe not. ;)
I'm not a fan of Rob being in small supporting roles. It's torture. He was great as Jerome and I wished we had more scenes with him. But alas, it was not Jerome's story and it's up to Rob what roles he takes. My role is to buy tickets and see the movies. I'll gladly support the film in February when it's officially released as well. But the struggle is real with these mini roles.

Here are some cute shots that make you smile from PromoRob during The Rover LA press junket

Robert Pattinson's strong 2014 + The Rover and Maps To The Stars make more Best Of 2014 lists

Robert Pattinson's strong 2014 + The Rover and Maps To The Stars make more Best Of 2014 lists

More year end lists! And this batch are of the professional variety. Maps To The Stars and The Rover have popped up without much outside help. Just simply being great films keeps them on the minds of several folks. To get us in the mood, we'll start with this montage video of 2014 films that includes both of Rob's movies this year. Hint: MTTS is first, then The Rover.



Rob was recognized individually byAnn Thompson of Indiewire/Thompson on Hollywood:
Actors Who Had a Strong 2014...
Robert Pattinson (“The Rover” and “Maps to the Stars”)
Here's the latest Best Of lists that included either MTTS or The Rover:

Maps To The Stars


The Rover

IMDb (from managing editor): Top 10 of 2014
7. The Rover + review ("Robert Pattinson in a career redefining role")
The Playlist: The 20 Best Films of 2014
20. “The Rover”
If one takes “The Rover” on its own methodical, minimalist terms — an existentialist fable that burrows deep into the moralism of its corrupted, barren landscape — it’s hard to deny that writer/director David Michod’s sophomore effort wholly accomplishes what it sets out to do. Stripping away all narrative complexity to the point of abstraction, the character study really breathes, but in such a completely different way to Michod's triumphant last feature "Animal Kingdom," that after just two features and a few shorts, Michod has us convinced he's the real deal. Featuring a stunningly grizzled, grimy lead performance by Guy Pearce, easily one of our favorite working actors, and an impressive turn from Robert Pattinson who is growing as a performer with every film, it's a movie that pulsates beneath the surface and in the long silences between dialogue and outbursts of violence. And it’s starkly beautiful to look at and to listen to, eschewing revelations and plot twists to deliver its deceptively simple story through mood, tone and atmosphere.

6. The Rover
You gotta hand it to Aussie David Michôd. After “Animal Kingdom” the world was his oyster and he spent months in Hollywood looking at scripts and potential projects. But for a second act Michôd decided to take a bold left turn with “The Rover,” a dissonant, minimalist two-hander that feels literally scorched by the sun. For his post-economic-collapse picture, Michôd decided to only employ post-apocalyptic modes through mood, atmosphere, and music. While there’s some score by Antony Partos utilized, the bulk of the movie’s simmering, sinister musical tendencies are discordant and cacophonous source music by experimental and ambient composers the director chose (all of it listed here). There’s seminal avant-garde musician William Basinski (who might be experiencing a minor renaissance since he was used in “The Comedy” in 2013), Chicago post-rockers Tortoise, and Montreal-based saxophonist and multireedist Colin Stetson—a touring member of Arcade Fire, Bell Orchestre, and Bon Iver (he also wrote the underrated score for “Blue Caprice” along with Sarah Neufeld from Arcade Fire). “The Rover” is not the most inviting or forgiving movie, but that’s the point (and of course a chipper Keri Hilson song briefly breaks the mood in a moment that’s both comical and yet heartbreaking). It’s a bleak, nihilistic look at the strange and unlikely partnership between a deceptively complex simpleton (Robert Pattinson) and callous, nearly inhuman man (Guy Pearce) who will stop at nothing to retrieve all that he has lost. And Michôd’s soundtrack is equally cruel, heartless, and unrelenting—in the best way.

The Rover pops up in this year end video but blink and you'll miss it! Hint: It's not an obvious scene.






And as if this isn't good enough, Rob's 2015 movies are making lists already! Little White Lies included LIFE on their list of Top 50 Movies You Need To See In 2015:
We still shiver when recollecting the luscious monochrome of Corbijn’s Ian Curtis pic, Control. Interim efforts may not have packed so intense a punch but the legacy of his debut lives on. The Dutch photographer created the effect of characters moving through a world so textured that it seemed to have its own pulse. For Life — the story of a photographer and his relationship with James Dean, Dane DeHaan plays the original rebel without a cause opposite reformed heartthrob, Robert Pattinson. Let’s see what he makes of them. Did you know Anton Corbijn bought his first camera when he was 18.

While doing promo for her movie 'Still Alice' Julianne Moore spoke to Inquirer Entertainment and had some very nice things to say about Rob and working with on Maps to The Stars with him.

 photo LeavingRobertPattinsonMapsPremiere3.jpg

"“Robert’s looks belie who he is inside. He has this formidable, very beautiful face. He’s such a gorgeous guy. He looks like he would be remote, but the minute I met him, he was very chatty. He’s very funny. He’s knowledgeable about film. He loves acting, actors and movies.

“Robert talked the entire time. I have to say I was shocked because I didn’t expect it. I mean, he’s so friendly, truly delightful, smart and talented. I loved him right away!”"

NEW INTERVIEW: "He's A Really Nice Person, And He's Fun To Be Around" ~ Robert Pattinson On David Cronenberg

Well we all know how well Rob & David get on. In this interview with Free people he chats about working with David again on Maps To The Stars, jokes about how his next limo movie will see him being run over by one and working as part of an ensemble.

 photo Maps.png
TORONTO -- For Robert Pattinson, working with a director like David Cronenberg is an emphatic departure from the Twilight world of brooding, sexy vampires.

But then again, the English actor's role in Maps to the Stars does represent a certain redundancy. He is again placed in a limousine, where he spent almost the entirety of Cronenberg's Cosmopolis as a billionaire financier on a slow road to ruin. This time, Pattinson is in the driver's seat as a Hollywood wannabe actor-screenwriter, who at one point is contemplating joining the Church of Scientology "as a career move."

The Free Press spoke with Pattinson about Round 2 with Cronenberg:

FP: So, again with the limo sex?

RP: Yeah, it's weird. Apparently, Cosmopolis was just the audition for this one. I'm thinking that's what I'm going to use as my head shot: me leaning out of the limo window.

FP: David Cronenberg likes to use certain actors, such as Viggo Mortensen and Jeremy Irons, more than once. Do you have to have a certain rapport to be a member of that club?

RP: I think it was just luck at the beginning. I really get on with him. He's a really nice person, and he's fun to be around. I did consider that he likes to use the same cast for years and years, so that's my welfare cheque.
 photo Robenberg-2.gif 
FP: It must be gratifying that he sees you playing roles as different as a solitary, somewhat unhinged billionaire in Cosmopolis and as a hungry Hollywood wannabe in Maps to the Stars.

RP: Very different characters, yes, but both in limos and both in black suits. That's got to be the through line. I'm thinking in the next one, I'm going to be run over by a limo.

FP: You live in Los Angeles, so do you recognize the reality of this movie?

RP: Definitely. Some of the characters seem to be archetypes, but I've met a lot of them. I remember certain scenes, like the scenes with all the young actors when they're all bitching about each other. That really reminded me of when I first started coming to L.A., before camera phones, when you would go to nightclubs and there would be really famous 15-year-olds and you could see them openly drinking and it was so weird. There was like a different set of rules. But now it's not the same anymore, because kids in bars get found out immediately. But I remember coming from England and seeing that, because I was still not being let into clubs in England when I was 20 and here, there were kids drinking!

FP: Are you more comfortable in an ensemble as opposed to carrying the movie as in Cosmopolis?

RP: On something like this, there's obviously a lot less pressure, so I like it a lot. When you don't have to drive the movie forward, it's not as hard a decision to make.
